Simulating a garden’s sun exposure #Gardening

The Almost Looks Like Work blog posts a very common question (and a great way to get an answer):

Since the start of lockdown, I’ve found ever more reasons to be grateful for the surprisingly sunny postage-stamp of a garden I enjoy here in London. I am however moving to a new house soon, and have been curious to know how the new garden will fare in comparison.

While the post gets into the math used, there is an easy answer – they created an interactive solar irradiance app to help anyone calculate the sun a patch may get!

The simulator is a React app written in Typescript, and all calculations are performed locally in the browser. You can see the source here:
